The positive side of instant point changes

By dadocollin, in X-Wing

I admit to being a little afraid of what 2.0 might look like on these forums, when errata can come at any moment and tiny corrections can be argued for ad nauseam day after day. But there's enough negativity out there on the news. X-wing should be fun! Let's look at the positive side of instantaneous point changes in the new app - special sale days! That's right, kids, picture this:

Y-wing Wednesdays! Tired of your Y-wing fleet never being competitive? Every Wednesday, all Y-wing points are reduced by 10%! Build now!

Fang Fighter Fridays! Want to dust off those old glass cannons? Third Fridays of the month are Fang Fridays! Fang point reductions by 20%!

Luke-free Weekends! Yes, it's the lazy days of summer, so you don't want to get pounded by Luke Gunner all the time. You realize he's the coolest and best so he should dominate, but sometimes you just want to cruise your Tie Strikers around on a hot summer day while you get blasted by your air conditioner. We've got the deal for you. All weekends in July are Luke-free! Luke will be removed from the app and can't be used! Now go unbalance the force, kids!

Add your own sale day ideas below and join the rebellion...

Except they’ve already said that all point cost adjustments will be released in ~quarterly pre-planned updates.

That said, they have definitely suggested that events just like those you’ve listed above are entirely possible in the new system as an alternative format!

Now is the winter of our discontent ... Phantoms are 50% off this quarter! Buy two, get one free!

Just so long as they have Ladies Night on Tuesdays- all female pilots and crew fly for free! :lol:
